It is often said that if there was social
justice, there would be no need for social service. Unfortunately, there is a
lot of inequality that disrupts social justice. Lacks of awareness on social
issues only add to this situation. That’s why NGOs around the globe keep their donors
informed through blogs or news attempting to increase a collective knowledge so
more people can come forward.
When we think of charity for children, it
connects us with issues related to lack of education and hunger. Here’s why
supporting charity keeps you informed about social issues:
Social
injustice grabs your attention
Even when you have given charity donation
just once, you must have noticed how naturally headlines related to specific
issues grab your attention. You find yourself reading NGO news and blogs
or devouring social stories that impact several lives. You naturally become a
more aware citizen especially towards issues of injustice; you share this
concern with colleagues and friends inspiring them to contribute as well,
unconsciously creating a community of believers of social justice. Many
contributors and donors start their own blogs and make others aware of the most
pressing social issues around the world. Akshaya Patra keeps its readers and donors
informed about its Mid-Day Meal Programme
in its endeavour of a deeper charity for children.
Human beings are reciprocal by nature. We expect
something in return for a favour. NGOs like Akshaya Patra provide tax
deductions and non-monetary motivation in exchange for a donation. When you
contribute, you trigger an unconscious cycle of kindness because you talk about
your contribution and share it with others. This gesture inspires many and
creates an impression of you that often comes back in the form of small favours
and help when you need them most. Moreover, others see you as someone who is concerned
about social issues and they may get encouraged to work towards such causes as
well.
You push
them for accountability
Of course, when you make a conscious
contribution, you want to find out all about what that organisation does. This
pushes non-profits to improve their processes, do their job more honestly and
engage in better management of resources. Donating to a charity indirectly
contributes into a transparent ecosystem of social issues where socially aware
donors demand more accountability and NGOs implement systems more efficiently.
Pick up any NGO blog and you will read several stories where a positive difference was
made. At Akshaya Patra too, we are always excited to share amazing stories of
hope with our donors as they contribute in charity for children. We want our
donors to know that their contribution wasn’t futile.
Charity for
children
At Akshaya Patra, it’s our conscious desire
to encourage you to understand our Mid-Day Meal Programme, the children who are
benefitted by it, and their stories. Through this, you open up to a whole new
world of giving where you are aware of the vital concerns related to children.
